CMBB v CMAK

[Mad Russian]

What self propoganda value and self esteem value is gained by admitting that the enemy has better capabilities than you do?

The only one I know if is the one played over and over.....The Russians were bigger, better, badder but we still beat them.

A minor point: The obvious answer to your question is using it as an excuse, a very cogent point when talking about post war memoirs.

That is not a minor point. But it is so blatantly obvious when you read their biographies that it's easy to follow. When, as in Guderians case with the battle of Senno, he specifically points out that the Soviets fought well for one of the few times in the early war months. That to me at least doesn't fall into that category.

But that's just my opinion.

Good Hunting.
